YES AND NO..
easyest way is listed above..
but you'll need to get the angled shims to get the pinion angle correct..
many vendors sell them for these truck(aka nascar )

I made blocks.. with 2.5" 1/4" thick square tube

Same rear suspension as your 69, with springs from a Jeep TJ in the back. clipped 1.5 coils in front. Should get you close to your requirements.
